It’s ironic that Jeter is known as the “ultimate team player” when he actively made his team worse for vanity (and sabotaged ARods potential accolades and stats at a much more celebrated position) meanwhile ARod sacrificed personal glory to appease Jeter (and his fans) like a real team player. ARod is definitely a weird corny guy but he did what was necessary to win.

@@kurtwagner350 What a sacrifice ... Dude with a biggest contract at the time came to the team with 4 championships in 5 years. Jeter didn't sabotage Arod, all his accolades and stats destroyed with steroids.

​@@NK-qx6kkonly weirdos even care about the steroids thing. Especially since mfs cheated then and still do. Houston, spider tac ect ect

​@NK-qx6kk thank you! The 2 nut huggers above are using an incredibly biased hindsighted opinion

@@NK-qx6kkgreed. I’m almost positive it was the steroids that did that. Btw A-Rod was my favorite player…

Yeah, like 8 or 9 runs per game for his career. Pretty impressive I'd say!

How do you not fix that?

Seriously stopped the video to find this comment thank you

Lol

Yup!!

I thought i was the only one who caught that 😂

Not a hot take. Arod actually acts like a stand up guy, while Jeter is an off putting dick

Because Jeter doesn't have the Yankees organization and New York media to back him up anymore.

Jeter has made some good cameos in movies. Oh is he still a part owner of Marlins???

Marlins fan here. He quit on us.

That means they were probably always like that. I think Jeter was quietly an a-hole the whole time.

Dont forget tex

What do you mean "us"? They played, you watched.

​@@ItsAllAboutGuitarin American sports (and possibly in other nations' sports as well, but I only follow American sports so I can't be certain) it is common for fans to refer to teams they support in the first person plural. This is because fans strongly identify with their favorite teams and especially by attending and watching games, buying merchandise, and generally being informed about their team's activities they feel like the concept of a team can be broadened to include the fan base as well. Also, by saying "us" in this example it's a shorthand that avoids needing to say "the Yankees" while also still allowing the meaning to be clear.

@@ItsAllAboutGuitari don’t know how to tell you this but the team would not exist if people didn’t buy tickets and jerseys you nerd

@@seanwall2846and Matsui and Damon and Cano and the other core members

Same here. All these tools acting like steroids makes you a better player - it just makes you stronger. If you can't hit - steroids isn't going to help much.

@@marcoslaureano5562 exactly lol. imo it's only combat sports where either everyone or no one should be juiced. sosa, bonds, maguire home run race is what actually got me into baseball. i'm english so i would never have noticed the sport. I'm still a cardinals fan to this day 20+ years later

​​@@mowvu5380haha you're a fan of cheating the game. What a disgrace

Also un an unbelievable amount of roids lmao!

@@bpba1 Lots have players have taken gear over the years, not a lot have had the type of career that Alex Rodriguez had.

Like Barry Bonds, Rodriguez was already one of the best players in the league before the PEDs

Why? Doesn't shock me based on the age of average KZfaq users in general. I'm 28, I only saw bits and pieces of Jeter's true dominance. I also didn't see the absolute best of ARod when he was a young, god-tier 5-tool player in Seattle. But ARod was significantly better as a player the entire time I watched baseball. The year's this video highlighted when the Yankees were winning like crazy and Jeter at least had somewhat close stats to ARod (never really that close but much closer), very few young fans have any personal connection to because they didn't watch them live. We have inherited connections to those teams growing up with that group of players, but for many of us, they won 1 time in 2009 and that was ARod's ring easily. The only MVP caliber season Jeter put up was in the 90s. ARod was one of the 5 best players in the league basically every year of his career until after the suspension. From an on-the-field standpoint, most younger fans are going to prefer the significantly better player.

@@cjcable6995 I just didnt expect people to support him after the steroid use

Now that they're retired you can see that Jeter was just a passive-aggressive tool. They hate him down in Florida after he pretty much ruined the Marlins and set them back a few seasons.

​@@marcoslaureano5562how do you ruin something that was already bad though

​@marcoslaureano5562 The Marlins were already bad. Jeter actually tried to make them more like The Yankees. But the Marlins didn't like caring about Winning. No wonder Jeter left

Rickey scored 2200 or so, Babe and Aaron are tied at 2191 iirc

@@warlordofbritanniasomeone doesn’t know a joke

Butt-Head: Yeah...he scored...

@@benschroeder6852 Where’s the joke?

​@@warlordofbritanniait's scares me that you exist

It wasn't the players. Joe Torre with wisdom from bench coach Don Zimmer outmatched Mariners manager Lou Piniella. Remember the Mariners also had Randy's Johnson for 1996 and 1997. Griffey and Edgar Martinez are also Hofstadter. Torre even outmatched Braves manager Bobby Cox.

TBT, none of them have a clue. They got a camera shoved in their face and asked question they have no answer for. Just like an entire Latino team saying their favorite player is Jerickson Profar... He so happens to be relevant the year. Sure...😅

Yeah I also you should say it was a rod and Pedro Martinez

Yeah, video about a rivalry about how two people that hate each other and yet they could be seen together on TV together on Fox broadcasts several times in the last few weeks. Cut the shit this is just fucking drama bullshit for the sake of drama bullshit. That’s all this video is.

When dudes take the time to compile clips, edit, research and all the other effort for videos like these the least Ican do is comment and like

Definitely would have made them better since Jeter’s defense at SS was very subpar

what about Cano?

@@thenotoriousfinesser2907 Third baseman since he had good arm (Unless I am mistaken).

Also a Sahk fan, when A-Hole was at the plate I felt safe But that *thing* …it scared me

@@warlordofbritannia HA! Well put my guy!

Or that bit about how Jeter has "never had to lead." Even if you think that part was true it wasn't like A-Rod was leading anybody.

you're obviously a kid, (despite your username) ... Jeter was a cog in a powerful machine. The Dynasty Yankees were a threat 1-9, and O'Neill, Bernie, and Tino were scarier at the plate than Jeter -- who was a table setter, first and foremost.

@@joeinreallife6293 yup, that's what made him dangerous there was the heart of the lineup after him, but he always seemed to come thru when it mattered. Obviously I'm a child talking about a Yankee lineup from 25 years ago...for someone that comes off so condescending, you don't even really seem to disagree. But thanks for pointing out that the championship Yankees had more than 1 threat in their lineup.

A-Rod. Jeter is overrated

Facts

@@burtsy. I kinda figured so. Is it safe to say that Jeter’s likability led to a higher perception of his skill?

For sure! A rod is undoubtedly the better player stats wise, but his status as a clubhouse cancer definitely marred his legacy

@@madethecut Got it, makes sense thanks!

Okay, I thought I was the only one who noticed this.

Too many People are on his nuts, the guy was a good part of a great situation , and when most of those guys retired or left the Yankees they didn't win for almost a decade, and when they won it was only a 1 off.

Dude didn't even mention how Jeter refused to let Arod play shortstop even though dude was better by a significant margin

@@JawaPenguin16 fr

So 2 people took his spot? Who’s Gary Sandez? Also Arod finished with 696 HR, were you hoping to watch him hit 4 homers that night to catch 700? You suck

Couldn’t wait for this one*

Almost mid-20s is normal development. And it’s a fast track if they’re drafted out of college cuz they’re 21-22 right then.

Also, A rod got an ovation when he came out of his last game.

I think you’re just one of those obsessive A rod haters. That’s not healthy man

​@@TelecastersanonymousA Rod do not give you a lot of reasons to like hom

Alex was better

Great player, and I thought he was great, still. I had the fortune or misfortune of staying at a number of hotels teams stayed at when on the road. My company put me up there. The one player the staff singled out as a dick, and they all seemed to dislike; Yep it was Jeter. Alex may be a twit, but never a mention by hotel staff as being an arrogant pain to deal with.

Look at Jeter's post play legacy. Jeter has shown that when he was a player he seemed like a class act, but in a management he is a total ass.

@@doncheechako8084 I could always tell that by looking at his face. Spoiled yankee

But the media picked A Rod as the AL MVP
